What started out as a field trip to the
Homewood City Hall for a Homewood Middle School civics class
turned into a script and short film about their experience. The
students had to navigate through a crowd of protesting fire fighters
and local TV crews to sit in a City Council decision to trim the
fire department budget. Using this occurrence as a basis for
a script, the students later returned to the exact same council
chambers and filmed their observance of their local
government in action. |
